"He wants to treat us to dinner."

Translation: 他想请我们吃晚饭。

[gszeto]

Again with 想 vs. 要

[Ted302303]

Yeah, its super annoying

[MelissaRosen]

Why would this be treat us to dinner and not invite us to dinner?

[purplelotus88]

It's the same.

[ShiminHo]

晚餐 is also acceptable

[awunker]

Is there a reason that "他想请我们去吃晚饭" is not acceptable? Since to ask someone to go to dinner is translated as "去吃晚饭“ elsewhere...

[Hortey]

No real expertise, but considering we are translating "treat us to dinner", using 去 makes it sound more like "invite us to go to dinner" since 请 has multiple meanings. Your way (using the treat definition) makes it sound like the person might be paying for, but not attending the dinner.
